This cake is what I like to call a “snacking’ cake”. Why you might say? Because I find myself eating the dang thing all day long! It’s got the right amount of gooeyness but also holds up pretty well when you’re headed out the door with the quickness. It’s got loads of raspberries, toasted coconut, and yummy caramelized banana.
The Wild Friends Honey Sunflower Butter adds this amazing nuttiness that I can’t live without. But what makes me love this cake the most is it’s dairy free, vegan (if you substitute the ghee for coconut oil), and you would never know the difference!! I’ve been dairy free for awhile and experimenting with baking has been the most fun!
So next time you have some raspberries or banana to use up or your just in the mood for something semi-healthy to snack on, then give this cake a try, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

If nut butters are your thing then you can save 20% off every order at their website with code “season20”. Their Peanut Cashew Super Butter is my all time fav, but find I will always go for some Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter!
